Additional Information

It seems that every day new prescription drugs are being developed to treat a host of medical issues, which is great news for those who are in need of them. The problem, however, is the speed at which these drugs are being put on the market, and consumers are experiencing negative side effects, some of which can be fatal or life threatening to the user. Touted for their benefits, many prescription drugs have been found to cause serious harm to the user.
In 2011, the Food and Drug Administration’s Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) shows 874,116 total instances of negative side effects from prescription drugs. That same year, over 98,000 deaths resulted from these adverse events, and over 573,000 resulted in an outcome the FDA deemed to be “serious.”
If you or a loved one have suffered adverse side effects from a drug that was prescribed to you which caused pain and suffering or loss of life, you may be entitled to compensation.To find out how we can help, simply fill out Inkelaar Law’s “Free Case Evaluation” form located at the top right of the page – it’s 100% FREE to send.
The Federal statute, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act or “OBRA”, 42 USCA 1396 et seq. and 1395 et seq., and its interpretive guidelines, spells out how nursing homes are ultimately responsible for the health, medical care and well-being of their residents. A federal bureau known as the Health Care Financing Administration oversees compliance with these regulations. HCFA enforces guidelines for the evaluation, care and treatment of residents, aimed at maximizing the quality of each resident’s daily life and minimizing abuse and neglect.
If substantial compliance is shown, certification of the home is continued and the home can continue to receive government funds such as Medicare/Medicaid. If not, the home may lose its ability to receive these benefits. Care is expected to improve as nursing homes take steps to prevent injuries and avoid litigation, which is increasing.
Before proceeding with litigation, a review of the medical records is critical. All available family members, friends and witnesses should be interviewed to determine if there is any additional information regarding the elder’s treatment or documents which will assist in evaluation. This should include inquiries regarding complaints and/or third party investigations by governmental authorities. Because most victims in nursing home cases are long past the stage of earning wages and often have short life spans, analysis of these cases is different.
